TY - JOUR AU - Doi, Suhail AR AU - Loutfi, Issa AU - Al-Shoumer, Kamal AS PY - 2001 DA - 2001/08/28 TI - A mathematical model of optimized radioiodine-131 therapy of Graves' hyperthyroidism JO - BMC Nuclear Medicine SP - 1 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - The current status of radioiodine-131 (RaI) dosimetry for Graves' hyperthyroidism is not clear. Recurrent hyperthyroidism and iatrogenic hypothyroidism are two problems which interact such that trying to solve one leads to exacerbation of the other. Optimized RaI therapy has therefore begun to be defined just in terms of early hypothyroidism (ablative therapy) as physicians have given up on reducing hypothyroidism.
